Known as the Taichung Green Museumbrary, the pairing is an ensemble of airy white boxes of varying heights. It consists of eight interconnected structures: three for the Taichung Art Museum, four housing the Taichung Public Library, and one that will be used as offices. The sprawling 58,000 sq. m project is located in the city's 67-hectare Central Park, within a decommissioned military airport.

The Alameda County Law Library offers resources such as legal volumes, databases, computers, printers, and attorney referral services to help individuals navigate the legal system.

"I value education and knowledge. A library is the first thing we should give our children," said Esteves, his voice sometimes breaking. "When I see the sign, it honors parents and teachers, especially immigrants looking for a better life and future."

Its oval form and round windows break away from the rigid geometry of the surrounding urban blocks. This building curves like the nearby Georges River it's inspired by, creating a gentle pull for people to step inside.
